Fabulous travel guide, couldn't do enough for us. The husky, reindeer rides and Santa Claus's Village were special and well organized. Highly recommended.
It was a great experience and our guide was knowledgeable, flexible and very friendly
From start to finish, the tour was perfectly organized and full of magical moments. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel welcome and safe. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and you could really feel the passion behind what they do.
That is a private tour and Paul was excellent throughout. Plenty of flexibility in making the most of our visit. Also lunch at Santa’s Salmon Place……excellent smoked salmon. Only disappointment is lack of snow when we visited
It’s certainly the bestest time and the guide is super cute and friendly, must do tour .
This was a great Rovaniemi experience seeing Santa and enjoying reindeer and husky rides. Paul was prompt, friendly, and professional.
It was a really great day. The certificate and chocolate were really nice touches! The huskies were amazing and it was great to learn a bit about them. They are very looked after and don’t work if they don’t want to. The reindeer ride was short but sweet. The guide was really handy taking our photos. Only thing I’d change is that we had to share our husky ride with someone else which we presumed we’d get our own considering how much we’d paid.
Thank you so much for your kind review! 😊 We’re really glad you enjoyed the experience. Regarding the husky ride, for the 2 km husky ride, sharing a sled can sometimes happen depending on track conditions and the husky farm’s decisions. For example, if the track is icy, a slightly heavier sled may be needed for safety, or solo travellers may be paired. That said, we always try our best to arrange the ride only for your group whenever possible. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back to Lapland in the future! ❄️🌌
My experience was really nice and comfortable I really enjoyed the company with the guide He was very generous and helped us explore the place well Highly satisfied with the overall experience
We had an amazing experience on the (1) Santa Claus village with Reindeer & husky ride (2) Ranua zoo Arctic wildlife park with private transport & lunch with Refreshing North!. Special thanks to our guide, Tirthankar Paul, who was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he guided us very well during both the tours. He also guided us buying some “warmers” from the supermarket something we didn´t know before the tour. Everything was well organized and friendly, and we wish we had booked the Northern Lights tour also with them but alas!! We came back with memories of our lives, and we would highly recommend the Refreshing North tours to anyone visiting Rovaniemi — truly unforgettable from start to finish!
From pickup to drop-off, our tour guide Mr. Paul was absolutely amazing! Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire experience. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The husky ride was such a thrill, the dogs were energetic and well cared for, and it was an unforgettable experience gliding through the beautiful scenery. The reindeer ride at Santa village and meet the real Santa was truly magical, giving us a chance to truly soak in the fairy tale atmosphere. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organized, fun, and memorable adventure!
